Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd/-HP

The best IVs for Lene are +Spd and -HP. A higher Spd stat allows Lene to prevent follow-up attacks and help her make follow-up attacks on her own. HP is much lower priority, and can be taken as your bane.

Lene Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Lene Roles

Lene - Yearning Dancer Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Lene is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Lene Strengths

Refreshes allies and grants Atk/Spd Buff to Refreshed Ally

Because of Firestorm Dance 2, not only does an ally get an additional action, but they also get +3 Atk/Spd. This provides them a bit more firepower that may mean the difference between defeating the next foe or not. This also synergizes well with blade tome users like Tharja and Nino, as they can turn these buffs into even more firepower.

Dance is an assist skill that allows the target ally to take another action. Because of this, your allies can move and attack twice to take down foes, or attack and move back to the safe zone so that they won't be taken out during the enemy phase. It has high strategic value and it allows Lene to become a part of many team compositions.

Extra Bulk When Attacked

Safeguard+ grants Lene +7 Def when a foe initiates combat on her. This gives her some extra bulk when taking hits from physical units. Because of her decent Spd stat, she can be used in baiting powerful physical and put them in range of your allies attacking range.

Very useful for building other sword units

Lene's C skill Sword Valor will allow all sword users on the same party to gain 2x SP. This will make building your other sword units and learning their skills extremely quick and painless. If done on the weekends where a 2x SP multiplier is already in effect, or when a unit is receiving some kind of 2x bonus from an event or blessing, these bonuses stack, which will allow sword users to gain a ton of SP in no time.

Lene Weaknesses

Low Offensive Power

Lene has low offensive power! In the event that she needs to attack an enemy, she might not deal enough damage to take them out. Consider inheriting Ruby Sword+ or Triangle Adept 3 in order to make use of her decent Spd.

Lene as a Source Hero

Value of Skills	★★★★☆

Inheriting Safeguard+

Lene can be used to inherit the skill Safeguard+. However, Lene is a unit with Dance, you may want to invest and build in her instead if you do not have much dancers. Additionally, she also possesses a very useful unit in Sword Valor 3. This skill combined with her Firestorm-charged refreshing abilities makes her the perfect training partner for your sword units! Think carefully before fodderring her off for this skill.
